Ultrafast ultrasound imaging for children's heart conditions
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, faster ultrasound technique to see heart structure and blood flow in children with or without congenital heart disease (CHD). It aims to improve imaging without risk, using a short scan during a regular check-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can be any age, male or female.
- You either have a congenital heart condition (CHD) or are generally healthy coming for a routine check-up, or have been diagnosed with a small hole in the heart (atrial septal defect or PFO).
- You must have a French social security number.
- Your parent or guardian must agree to let you join.
- You cannot have an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), a heartbeat motion problem, a pacemaker or defibrillator, a clear space in the heart (anechoic), or an allergy to ultrasound gel.

This trial tests a new, faster ultrasound technique to look at the brains of babies under 2 years old with serious heart problems. It aims to see if this method can provide better images to help doctors care for your baby.
This study uses automated ultrasound measurements to track how a baby’s heart is working during pregnancy. It compares babies who have a specific congenital heart problem with babies without it, to understand what ultrasound can detect.
This study tests whether a heart ultrasound done by emergency doctors or artificial intelligence can accurately assess children who already have a heart condition. It may help make care faster and easier.
This study tests a new digital method for analyzing heart ultrasound images. Researchers want to see if computer software can help doctors read heart scans more accurately and quickly.
This trial studies whether a newer, faster ultrasound imaging method can better assess areas of the heart that may not get enough blood during stress. You may be eligible if you have known coronary artery disease or are considered low risk, and if you can safely undergo the stress ultrasound test.
This trial will test how using a quick bedside heart ultrasound (focused echo) can help doctors make better decisions for children who are critically ill in the pediatric ICU.
